TT OSSUM DREAM - Boston Whaler FOR SALE

Purpose-built for adventure and refined day cruising, this 2016 model (built in 2015) 28-footer blends offshore confidence with effortless dayboat comfort. A deep‑V hull conceived by Boston Whaler delivers the poised, dry ride enthusiasts expect when seas rise, while the robust fiberglass construction and clean deck moldings speak to durability, easy care, and timeless good looks.

Twin Mercury outboards supply smooth, responsive power with the simplicity and serviceability only outboards can provide. Paired with gas/petrol efficiency and a thoughtfully balanced running surface, the boat moves with authority—quick to plane, composed at speed, and reassuringly sure‑footed when throttled back. The 9‑foot beam maximizes on‑deck freedom, creating a stable, social platform that transitions seamlessly from early‑morning trolling to sunset cruising.

Onboard comforts elevate every outing. An enclosed marine head enhances privacy and convenience, while a freshwater system with generous capacity ensures easy rinses and quick cleanups throughout the day. Storage is intelligently placed, with room for gear, safety equipment, and provisions, so the cockpit stays uncluttered and ready for action—be it angling, diving, or entertaining. The helm is intuitive and protected, with excellent sightlines and ample space for your choice of electronics, making navigation straightforward and stress‑free.

Every detail underscores versatility: confident offshore DNA for bluewater pursuits, the agility to explore coastal harbors, and the elegance to host family and friends in style. With substantial fuel capacity for extended runs and the proven pedigree of a deep‑V design, this is the ideal platform for owners who demand performance without compromising comfort.

Lying in the United States and ready to impress, it’s a standout choice for the discerning boater seeking a premium center console experience—equally at home as an offshore sport fisher, family dayboat, or capable weekender.

Description

The 280 Outrage sits confidently at the top of its class, excelling wherever the competition falls flat, a testament to Whaler’s mastery of the fully featured center console in a compact footprint where luxury and fishability meet in perfect balance. Purpose-built and meticulously specified, this particular vessel was purchased to serve as a tow-behind tender to a 96' motor yacht and is fitted with a robust stainless-steel tow eye that makes tender duties secure, stable, and straightforward while preserving the boat’s offshore poise and premium finish.

Walkthrough

Beginning at the bow, a deck-access locker houses the Quick rope-and-chain windlass, immediately aft of which a forward U‑shaped settee features three generous storage lockers beneath. A carry‑on cooler doubles as forward console seating under the shade of the hardtop, and it can also be mounted within the forward seating area, extending the lounge with its cushioned top for added versatility. The center console is thoughtfully arranged around twin Garmin 7612 displays and a three‑panel safety‑glass windshield, while inside the console a Dometic head and a fresh‑water shower elevate comfort during long days on the water. Moving aft, the helm console provides twin seats, a large live well, a sink, and three tackle drawers, with expansive macerated catch wells set under the deck to both port and starboard. Furthest aft, a folding bench seat spans the transom, complemented by a starboard walk‑through door and a fresh‑water shower for effortless swim‑and‑go days.

Foredeck

Up front, a stainless‑steel tow eye underscores this boat’s tender‑ready capability, while a Quick chain-and-rope windlass sits neatly beneath the foredeck hatch feeding a stainless through‑stem plow anchor. Two bow cleats and an anchor washdown outlet simplify ground tackle handling, and a low‑profile stainless bow rail frames the forward U‑shaped seating, whose gas‑assist, lockable hinged lids conceal insulated storage. Three bow cushions and coaming bolsters bring plush comfort, while four stainless rod holders and four stainless drink holders keep gear and refreshments at hand. A large centerline storage well below deck and two netted storage compartments to port and starboard expand stowage, all set on a fiberglass non‑skid deck for surefooted confidence.

Hardtop

The fiberglass hardtop integrates offshore‑ready equipment with elegant purpose: two JL Audio speakers for crisp sound, a Garmin radar dome for confident situational awareness, and both an ACR searchlight and an ACR EPIRB for safety‑first readiness. A stainless‑steel trumpet horn and a VHF antenna add capability, while Taco Grand Slam outriggers stand poised for serious trolling. Illumination is assured by a forward floodlight and two aft‑facing floodlights, and a five‑place rocket launcher across the aft edge keeps rods organized. Overhead, a life jacket storage pouch secures essential gear without sacrificing headroom.

Helm console

The helm is designed for confident control and long‑range comfort, with a forward‑facing double helm seat featuring a bolster, armrests, and a black Sunbrella cover, set behind a three‑panel safety‑glass windshield with wiper and an electronically actuated windshield vent. A molded fiberglass footrest with two positions, a tilt stainless steering wheel with speed knob, and precise Lenco trim tab control complement the twin Garmin GPSMAP 7612 displays and a dedicated Garmin data screen. Engine vitals are presented on a Mercury Vessel View 4 LCD gauge, while the Fusion stereo remote, two stainless drink holders, fourteen rocker switches at the helm and four additional rocker switches above the console place convenience at your fingertips. International navigation lights, an ACR searchlight, windlass control, Mercury push‑button start/stop switches, an overhead light, and a lockable overhead storage box complete the command environment, joined by an iCom MC 506 VHF with mic, a Ritchie 4" magnetic compass, a 12‑volt accessory outlet, and a black Sunbrella helm cover.

Console interior

Inside the console, a molded fiberglass inner liner presents a clean, durable finish complemented by a folding teak‑and‑stainless step. Comfort and convenience are assured with a Dometic Vacuflush toilet, a key switch for the macerator pump, a starboard storage cuddy, and a large port‑side storage area beneath the folding step. A 12‑volt accessory outlet, a Sahara bilge pump, a fresh‑water shower with a handheld faucet, and a stainless grab rail add practicality, while battery switches, a breaker panel, and Mercury key ignition switches simplify systems management. Power reserves come from three batteries supported by a Pro Mariner Pro Nautic 12v 30 amp battery charger, and entertainment is provided by a Fusion AM/FM CD MP3 stereo receiver. Additional touches include a stainless opening porthole to port and an overhead light.

Cockpit

Purpose‑built for angling and entertaining, the cockpit features coaming bolsters, an aft tackle center with a three‑drawer cabinet and a 30‑gallon live well, and a sink with a cutting‑board cover and a removable sprayer faucet. Two stainless drink holders and two stainless rod holders on the tackle center, plus a stainless handrail aft, keep the work area efficient, while under‑deck spring and aft cleats with stainless hawse pipes and two pop‑up stern cleats streamline dockside handling. Rod and gaff storage resides beneath the port and starboard gunwales along with stainless toe rails, and a port‑side fresh‑ and salt‑water washdown outlet keeps the deck spotless. Serious fishability continues with nine flush‑mount stainless rod holders, a recessed fresh‑water cockpit shower, a starboard walk‑through hinged transom door with stainless latch, and port and starboard under‑deck catch boxes with macerator pumps, complemented by two‑drawer aft tackle storage to port and a foldable stowaway aft seat. A 9‑step stainless‑steel swim ladder tucks under a hinged FRP cover, and a 30 amp shore cord with connector supports ship‑to‑shore power. Two JL Audio speakers, a Sahara S1100 automatic bilge pump, two fishbox macerators, a Lenco trim tab system, a self‑bailing cockpit, and motor well drains complete this capable, blue‑water‑ready working deck.
